After hearing this proposal, the rest of the civil and military officials also bowed their hands in unison and said: "The king, please inherit the position of supreme, and be called the emperor!"

Ying Zheng's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "I don't want to be the emperor."

After the words fell, many courtiers below were also a little confused. In their view, now that the six kingdoms have all been defeated by Qin, a mere monarch no longer fits the status of Yingzheng, and he should go further and become like Zhou Tianzi.

Based on their understanding of their king, the other party is definitely a man full of ambitions, so he will rule the world.But why reject the offer now?

When everyone was confused, Li Si, the new prime minister, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you have unified the six kingdoms, ended hundreds of years of war, and made the people no longer suffer from the war. .”

"According to my opinion, no matter whether it is the status of king or son of heaven, it does not match your status, and you should have another title."

Hearing these words, all the ministers suddenly realized that it was not that the king didn't want to be promoted, but he just felt that the title of emperor was not enough, and wanted to have a more powerful and domineering identity.

Now that he has understood the other party's mind, the next step is naturally to do what he likes.

At this time, another courtier stood up and said respectfully: "What Li Xiangguo said is reasonable, the merit and prestige of the king are beyond the reach of the kings of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties."

"I feel that you can imitate the ancient sages and take the title of emperor or emperor!"

Hearing this, the other courtiers also echoed: "That's right, that's right."

In ancient times, the three emperors and five emperors had the most honorable status. After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, no one received such honors again. Therefore, no matter whether it was Dayu or King Tang, they were only human kings, not human emperors.

King Wu defeated Zhou, destroyed the Shang Dynasty, established the Great Zhou, and called himself the Son of Heaven.In this way, Emperor Xin, king of Zhou, became the last human king.

But today's Yingzheng is obviously no longer satisfied with the title of emperor or king. He wants a more noble status, so the ministers also made such a proposal, wanting to make it a king since the Xia Dynasty. Emperor.

Hearing such an experience, Ying Zheng's expression remained the same, and he said lightly, "I don't know if you have any suggestions, my loves?"

Hearing the question, the civil servants and military generals below also expressed their opinions one after another, wanting to show their faces in front of King Qin.

A doctor said: "In ancient times, there were emperors, emperors, and emperors. Among them, the emperor was the most honorable. The king can be called the emperor."

Then another person said: "I think it is more appropriate for the king to be called the emperor."

At this moment, Prime Minister Li Si said: "Although the Emperor of Thailand and the Emperor of Heaven are honorable, they are both titles of ancient sages, which are not in line with today's people."

"Your Majesty is my Great Qin's monarch. From my point of view, it is better to position the title as Emperor Qin."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed a gleam, but he didn't agree immediately, but continued to ask: "Do you have any other ideas?"

Li Si frowned slightly. In his opinion, the title of Emperor Qin should be perfect, not only high-end but also meaningful, but Ying Zheng still didn't seem satisfied.

After proposing more than a dozen proposals, Ying Zheng still didn't adopt them, and many of his ministers were exhausted, looking at the people around them, not knowing what to say.

When Zhao Gao saw this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Based on his understanding of King Qin, the reason why the other party rejected the ministers' proposals repeatedly was probably because he already had an idea, but he was not easy to say it.

That's why I asked other people's opinions, and wanted my courtiers to speak out what was in my heart instead of him.

However, those ministers are all good at governing the country, but they don't understand the king's mind enough, so they are cold.

And Zhao Gao, although he doesn't know how to govern the government, but he understands King Qin's thoughts better than others.

Just now everyone spoke enthusiastically, so he didn't join in the fun.

But now that all the ministers are helpless, it is their turn to show.

Thinking of this, his footsteps moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but at this moment, a guard walked in quickly from outside the hall.

Kneeling down on one knee, he said, "Your Majesty, someone came to the gate of the palace just now and presented this object, saying it is a congratulatory gift for you, to celebrate the unity of the world!"

As he spoke, he held the scroll in his hand above his head.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's expression changed, and he said, "Who gave this thing?"

The guard replied: "This person didn't give his specific name, he only said that he is a disciple of Cangjian Villa."

"Hidden Sword Villa?"

Ying Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, since he was from Hidden Sword Villa, then this gift must be handwritten by Ye Chen.

He was curious about what the other party would send.

Then he opened his mouth and said, "Quick, present it!"

"promise!"

The guard responded respectfully, then hurried over, and respectfully handed over the scroll in his hand.

Ying Zheng raised his hand to take it, and slowly opened it.I saw that in this scroll, there was a poem inscribed impressively.

After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha!"

Seeing this, everyone felt a little puzzled, and asked, "Your Majesty is so happy, but what is the happy event?"

"I like this congratulatory gift very much!"

Ying Zheng said something.

Hearing this, the ministers became even more curious, what made his king so happy?

Ying Zheng glanced at the crowd below, then his eyes rested on Fusu, and he said, "Come and read it to all the ministers."

With that said, he handed the scroll to the other party.

"promise."

Fusu bowed to take it, opened it and recited:

"Sweeping the eight wastelands and destroying the six kings, and building the prosperity of counties and counties in the world."

"Measurement and writing are unified, and one emperor through the ages is called the first emperor!"

As soon as the words fell, the faces of everyone in the hall changed. Such a simple two lines of poetry contained a lot of things.

At this moment, Zhao Gao stood up and said, "Mr. Ye's words are reasonable. Your lord, your meritorious deeds surpass the five emperors. Why don't you take the emperor of the three emperors and the emperor of the five emperors and combine the emperor and the emperor together?" called emperor!"

Originally, this was what he was going to say, but Ye Chen cut him off, so now he has to hurry up and brush up his presence, otherwise he won't be able to get in the conversation soon.

Hearing this, the rest of the courtiers also echoed: "What the CRRC Mansion Order said is true. Your achievements surpass the ancient sages, and you should be called the emperor!"

Li Si also reacted, and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "You are the first emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, and you are the beginning of everything, unprecedented in all ages.

The minister bowed his head to remonstrate, and asked the king to ascend the throne and call him Qin Shihuang! "

As Li Si's words fell, everyone in the hall also bowed and saluted very cooperatively: "Please ascend the throne, Your Majesty, and call him Shi Huangdi!"
